The conference will be our strategy planning meeting for\r\n grassroots immigrant activists looking 2009 and beyond. We want to send\r\n a clear message to the Congress and our new President: 
\r\n Stop Immigrant Raids! Support Immigrant Workers Rights!<\/strong> <\/p>\r\n

We're begin accepting campaign,\r\n program,\r\n workshops and speakers proposals!<\/p>\r\n

Our Focus:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

The conference will focus on building multi-ethnic, multi-constituent,\r\n broad-based grassroots immigrant rights movements run by de-centralized\r\n volunteer-based community-rooted immigrant rights activists from\r\n youth, workers and community members who can play more active role on campaign\r\n formulation and decision making for local coalition building to\r\n organize popular education campaigns, such as: campaign to against\r\n immigrant dentition, deportation & raids; immigrant labor rights movement;\r\n campaign against local anti-immigrant ordinance; and linking the immigrant\r\n rights movement with other struggles, such as: anti-war and anti-globalization\r\n movements.
\r\n
\r\n We'll also discuss the lessons from the 2008 election and what we should\r\n expect from the new President and the Congress affecting immigrant legislation\r\n for the next two years. <\/p>\r\n
